 == Introduction
0
 
0
-Passenger is an Apache module, which makes deploying Ruby on Rails applications
0
-on Apache a breeze. It follows the usual Ruby on Rails conventions, such as
0
-"Don't-Repeat-Yourself" and ease of setup. Passenger's key goals are:
0
-
0
-[ Ease of use (for the developer) ]
0
-  Deploying a Rails application is as easy as uploading the files to the web
0
-  server. The applications should _Just Work(tm)_ without any further manual
0
-  configurations.
0
-
0
-[ Ease of installation ]
0
-  It is possible to install Passenger in less than 3 minutes, with minimal
0
-  reading of documentation. The system administrator should not have to edit
0
-  30 configuration files to get Passenger working.
0
-
0
-[ Stability ]
0
-  We strive for the highest level of stability. Passenger should never crash,
0
-  and should never leave Apache into an unusable state which requires a
0
-  restart.
0
-
0
-[ Zero maintenance ]
0
-  Software that is the easiest to maintain is software that doesn't have to be
0
-  maintained. Just like a (train) passenger, who can step into a train and
0
-  enjoy the trip, Passenger strives to allow the developer and system
0
-  administrator to sit back, enjoy, and relax.
0
-  
0
-  * Ruby on Rails applications are started and stopped automatically based on
0
-    site traffic. There should be no need to think about application server
0
-    management.
0
-  * Passenger makes no use of temporary files or sockets, so even after a hard
0
-    system crash, the administrator does not have to manually clean up stale
0
-    files. *
0
-    
0
-    <em>* This is only possible on Linux. On systems such as BSD, Passenger
0
-    falls back to using temporary Unix sockets.</em>
0
-  * If Passenger encounters an error, and it knows that it can be automatically
0
-    recovered, then Passenger will do that. The administrator should not have
0
-    to run server monitoring software to monitor Rails applications. Rails
0
-    applications that crash are automatically restarted.
0
-
0
-[ Security ]
0
-  We take security very seriously. We review our code for security issues to
0
-  the best of our ability. Design- and implementation issues that have security
0
-  implications are carefully documented, making it possible for third parties to
0
-  review Passenger's security, in the true spirit in Open Source.
0
-  
0
-  A key security feature of Passenger is the ability to run different Ruby on
0
-  Rails applications under different users, in an efficient manner. This is
0
-  perfect for shared hosts. And in the line of ease of installation, this can
0
-  be done automatically without any further need for configuration.
0
-
0
-[ Performance ]
0
-  Performance is an important issue, so we strive for the highest possible
0
-  performance. We use the performance of Mongrel, a popular Ruby on Rails
0
-  application server, as our performance base line. We carefully consider every
0
-  aspect of Passenger, and under no circumstances must Passenger perform
0
-  significantly worse than Mongrel.
0
-
0
-[ Efficient resource usage ]
0
-  Unlike other Ruby on Rails deployment systems, Passenger makes efficient use
0
-  of memory when possible. Passenger allows different Ruby on Rails
0
-  applications to share memory with each other, resulting in as much of 30%
0
-  memory saving on average. *
0
-  
0
-  <em>* This requires additional software. Please read the users guide for
0
-  information. Please visit our website for technical details and
0
-  measurements.</em>
0
-
0
-[ Well-documented ]
0
-  We know that documentation is of great importance to everybody. We put a
0
-  great deal of effort into documenting Passenger, for system administrators
0
-  who use Passenger, as well as developers who want to contribute to Passenger.

-== Welcome, beta tester
0
-
0
-Since Passenger hasn't been released yet, if you're reading this, then you must
0
-be a beta tester. :) We only ask of you not to give out this software to
0
-others. Even though it's going to be open source, we want the first release to
0
-leave a good - no, GREAT - impression. Leaking an unfinished beta will likely
0
-spoil peoples' first impression. Thank you for your understanding.
0
-
0
-We're pretty confident that the current version is pretty stable: we have lots
0
-of tests, and we've even tested the insertion of random errors, and so far we
0
-haven't been able to make it crash. But we're not done yet, and there is a lot
0
-more to test before we're confident enough that it can be released to the
0
-public.
